Create Delightful Charts With Vue.JS And FusionCharts

Vue.JS a progressive JavaScript-based framework works well when you want to build user interfaces. The Vue framework is designed such that it can be adopted incrementally; a developer’s familiarity with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, therefore, makes it all the more easy to start working with Vue. Additionally, the core library’s focus on the view layer only allows for easy integration with other libraries too.

Benefits of Vue.JS over other libraries

While every library comes with its own set of advantages, Vue.JS, for specific metrics, is marginally better than most other libraries. Vue’s rise in popularity over libraries like React and Angular is attributed to factors like runtime performance, optimization with respect to component re-rendering, CSS management, and data binding.

For example, when it comes to runtime performance, this is how Vue.JS compares with React for the time taken for creating 1000 rows after a page is loaded:

Similarly, when it comes to Angular, Vue demonstrates a better performance due to better optimization.
